Your Options when Changing Jobs or Retiring
Whether you’re changing jobs or nearing retirement, our goal is to simplify your retirement plan options and help align them with your long-term goals
Retiring?
Congratulations on your retirement! We want to make sure you’re fully informed about the choices available for your retirement savings. Here are the paths you can take:
Remain in your current plan, if you are allowed to.
Roll your savings into an individual retirement account (IRA) to maintain tax-deferred growth.
Take a distribution, but be aware it may trigger taxes and possible IRS penalties.
Now that you’ve retired, here are some key questions to review with your advisor:
- How long will your savings need to support you throughout retirement?
- Do you have a defined monthly budget in place?
- What should you expect healthcare to cost during retirement?
- Are there additional financial goals you hope to achieve?
- Are there opportunities to continue saving even while retired?
- Do you have a comprehensive view of your finances to support confident decision-making?
Changing Jobs?
A job change often brings exciting new possibilities! There’s a lot to consider when managing your retirement savings. Here are the four options available to you:
- Remain in your current plan, if you are allowed to.
- Roll your savings into an individual retirement account (IRA) to maintain tax-deferred growth.
- If available, you can move your plan to your new employer’s plan after assessing its benefits relative to your current plan.
- Take a distribution, but be aware it may trigger taxes and possible IRS penalties.
If you’re changing jobs, here are some key questions to review with your advisor:
- What investment strategies can help keep your savings tax deferred?
- How might this job change affect your overall retirement strategy?
- Has your income changed—and does it allow you to save more for retirement?
- How does your new employer’s plan compare to your current one?
- Do you have a comprehensive view of your financial picture to support confident decision-making?
